We have amazing engineers here in the Seymour Duncan Research Lab. And, like all great engineers, they love to tweak, tinker, and push the boundaries beyond the realm of what’s possible. Wayne brings his deep knowledge of analog circuits from the days of working on the Mars Rover (for real!) and Kevin has been designing circuits since before he could walk. And, now straight out of Santa Barbara, CA they’ve created FOOZ...

TWEAKERS WANTED

Many guitar pedals can make your guitar sound like a synth, but few capture the tactile feeling and interactivity of using one. Real analog synths use different blocks (oscillator, filter, LFO, envelope) that work together to create unique new sounds and textures. Combining these tools in one box and allowing them to interact with each other is the spirit of the FOOZ.

“The Seymour Duncan FOOZ is a great addition to my collection. It sounds killer, super unique, weird in all the right ways, and instantly inspired some new riffs! Fantastic!” -Mat Mitchell, Producer/Musician/Puscifer

One of the most fun boxes I've had on the bench! - JayLeonardJ

"You don't have to be an experimental tone destroyer to love Fooz. While it’s capable of creating rich, dramatic envelope follower/synth tones reminiscent of the rare and desirable Lovetone Meatball (and well beyond that), it can also dial in some wonderfully understated but expressive voice-like auto-wah/filter tones that respond dynamically to your playing. Fooz can add new life to your solos or take you to sonic worlds you’ve never experienced before.” -Chris Gill, Guitar Interactive

Watch as Mike Hermans puts the new FOOZ through its paces. A fuzz and filter inspired by our love for analog synths. Fuzz combined with a filter, an LFO and an envelope. A straightforward fuzz or a synth machine with endless possibilities. Can you guess the cover at the beginning of this video?...
